Events sign-up on Calendar

[confuzed]

I didnt want to register at another site, but I have now and it seems to be working on yours.  I wonder why it isn't working on mine. 

I will start over


edited:  ok it seems to be working now, I don't know what I did different, but it is showing the correct events for each member.  But if you are an Admin it shows all events even if you have signed up for none.  That was what was confusing me, as I logged in under another account to look and it showed all events, but that was an admin account too.  I logged in as a regular member and saw only the events I signed up for.

thanks again

The code is written to search for the person who is viewing the block. It wouldn't do any good to use it as it stands in the profile summary.

For example, if you looked at my profile summary, you would not be able to see the events that I had signed up for. You would see the events that you signed up for. In order for you to see the events that I had signed up for, the query would have to be different.

Not sure why it's not working on your site, though. Maybe a start-over will help.

sorry, I edited the above post before I realised you had replied

It doesn't on mine. I don't know why it does on yours.

Can you access your database directly, through phpMyAdmin? If you can, take a look at the calendar table and see if your user number is in all of the "attendees" field. That's the only way it would do what you're saying. The code doesn't look at the admin status of the user, but only looks at the "attendees" field in the calendar.

ok I'll take a look after work

[confuzed]

ok it is working now

now I wanted to put it on another part of the site, like in profiles, is that possible or do you have to change the code?  As an admin I would like to see other people's lists of events and I thought putting it in profiles would be a way to do it.

You would have to change the code. The code looks at the current user's ID and uses that for the query. That's what the variable $ID_MEMBER is. You'd have to look at the profile script to know what variable is used for the queries on the profile and then substitute that for $ID_MEMBER.

ok thanks, I'll have a look but I don't know anything about coding.  Maybe something will pop out at me lol

It's just that altering the profile isn't part of TP and we're supposed to focus on TP here. Maybe you can get help from the mod creator or someone at SMF.

thanks, understood.  I looked at it myself but it's all greek to me.   

Alternately would it be possible to have an admin only block with the data in it, as I really want to see by member, who is attending events, as we want to keep stats.  It doesnt matter really where it is when I think about it, I could have a block for just Admin to view showing all members which might work out better, as it would be all in one place rather than having to check profiles
